In his best-selling memoir, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife, he wrote about a near-death experience he had a few years back after contracting a rare form of bacterial meningitis that left him in a week-long coma.....Prominent atheist and author Sam Harris has disputed Dr. Alexander’s reasoning, saying the experience does not prove there is an afterlife.

What is it with these Protestants always claiming to see the afterlife whenever they have a near-death experience?

What is it with these Orthodox....?

Here is what happened to me. I am drawing no conclusions for you.

Back in 2001, after my second heart attack, my lungs started to fill up with fluid. The doctors said I had may be another 30 minutes to an hour before I suffocated to death. In addition to couple of things that I have related elsewhere, the following also happened: I saw my deceased mother and son standing and looking at me about eight feet away--on two different occasions. No bright lights; just them looking at me, although I did notice that my son who had before his passing stood bowed down at the waist because of severe scoliosis, was now erect.
